Caught
trapped by a hook
meant for a fish
taking the bait
kept so fresh
feeling so clean
gutted so fast
in a dark place
simply
mistaken for the
house on the hill
rose bushes
surround my
heart for you
a whisper of tales
told only by him
mistaken all over
again and again
this humors the
papers that line
my desk with comics
and pictures
of long lost friends
A piercing feeling
pokes my hand
to find the ring where
it all began
to fizzle and fade
like hot coca cola
a bad hot day
in the middle
of Florida
I take only the
torture that awaits
for me and my heart
will soon stop beat
the beat that pounds
within my chest
and makes
life worth living
and fights off death
for whatever
reason I brought
myself here
to finally face
my worse fear
the day so long
and bittersweet
loosing a friend
to an enemy
the one that disguised
all the hate
that lies in his
heart
and puts out my flame
